From sports equipment to high-tech operating theatres for hospitals, vehicles and public transport infrastructure, and industrial applications such as the structural design of oil platforms mechanical engineers play a crucial part in shaping the way we live. A wide range of skills are needed to be able to successfully design and manufacture what we need in an efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable way and meet the demands and challenges of the modern world. As the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. mechanical engineers must be able to combine engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science. Studying mechanical engineering at Leeds will open up a whole world of opportunities for your career. Youll develop your abilities, knowledge and skills across the full range of mechanical engineering, from the fundamentals of design and manufacture to fluid dynamics. Youll also have scope to specialise in fields that interest you, such as vehicle design or biomedical engineering.<br>Work placement: Optional and Study abroad: Optional.
